Hmm~ absorb vs refractDoes light ever really stop traveling?So many silly things to think about. As long as the end result is good though

Does light ever really stop traveling? //// Yes when impacting a solid, ie: something it does not pass thru.......it is turned into heat, or perhaps another form of energy if "heat" is not quite correct.....then cools.......and disappears totally. Its what the entropy issue is all about.

R u seeing light refracting or heat emissions ? Just because the light form changes doesnot mean it stops. Entropy ~ the trophy u get for goingso far ~ keep going to get ur rewards

Absorb may be the wrong word as I was thinking more along the linesof the light passing through. Never stopping......

R u seeing light refracting orheat emissions ? /// I said refracting and hoomans can't see heat wavelengths. I quibbled a bit at "heat" because I think when photons hit an atom they only "excite" the energy level of the electrons...forget what then do in the nucleus (pop another photon out or energize the electron shell?) but not heat. But heat is where most energy winds up

Just because the light form changes doesnot mean it stops. /// In the main...yeah it does.

Entropy ~ the trophy u get for goingso far ~ keep going to get ur rewards //// Meaningless as the whole point of entropy is that it stops you from "going." ie: no movement at all.

Absorb may be the wrong word as Iwas thinking more along the linesof the light passing through. /// Yes.........words have meaning. As in your use of "may" when its either wrong or not.....requiring you to think about what you actually mean to say.

Never stopping...... If it never stops....we never see it. Its a main paradox of quantum physics.

Ooo had a dream this morning ~ I wasin a scene from Supernatural lolCrowley had caught me & taken me to his lair.

He breathed up my nosebut as soon as I felt it~ I stopped breathing.Slowly I fell to the floor as if floating.He thought I was out so he left. Then I awoke.

No. Words have meaning because the people using the words agree that the words represent the same concepts for both the sender of the message and the receiver of the message. Misunderstandings occur when that agreement isn't precise enough.

Errors can also occur when the sender of the message uses the wrong words, or if the receiver of the message misinterprets the words.

There aren't too many words used onthis forum that 2 or more people agreeto the meaning of. There is also thatfact that some people use words withmany meanings ~ intentionally to causeconfusion. I have a box. With the minds around her it couldbe any of an infinite number ofkinds of box.

All evening it's been dancing in my head~the fight for supremacy starts in the blood.White blood cells vs red blood cells. Does this go further into people's mindsdepending on whether or not the blood is positive or negitive? Do they start tosee white skinned people as white blood cells & dark skinned people as red blood cells? Believing they need to be healed as theimmune system would do? They say it takes 7 days for red blood cellsto mature & be released. Is this why weshould rest on the 7th day & soak in a hot bath?

Depending on what your lonely battle is about, if no one truly cares to join, it might not be worth your while either.

Just musing...

I'm not fighting lolOh I might have kicked the air once or twice. I might have walkedon water till it bleed. Making more waterof course hehe I might have stompedthe earth or started a fire but I trulyDo Not Enjoy Fighting.

I'm looking for stuff. Putting things in their place.Organizing thoughts.Telling people stuff. Creating arcs. Forging new paths. It's totally worth it. Doesn't need to be so hard though.Society hates to see people trulysucceed if it means they have tochange something about themselves .

Just wondering but~Who do u say I am? When referenceing what I post ~what do u call me?

Soooo.... You set out to be violent& you respond violently? Hmm ~ what good is that?

"Good" wasn't part of the question.

Violence as a purposeful strategy or tactic may be useful in the short term, but in the long term, not so much. Violence as a response may be essential to the preservation of one's life, or it may be bad (example - shooting MLK.)

Hmm~ I seemed to have asked the question~"What good is that?"Good being the main premise for findinga justifiable reason for being violent. I would like an example of any goodcoming from violence. You know~ whereno harm comes to those involved.

Is pushing a person off the roof to getto the sniper who is going to shootthe president really worth it? He's onlyanother guy. Kill one to save ? There are better more preventative ways to avoid violence all together if onlythe president was a man and not a pussy. (Leo lol)
